I'm back in 1990

Chapter 853: I'll Take Over First

Mai Guangde had worked extensively with the finance, audit, and legal departments during his tenure as the head of overseas asset management at headquarters, so he was naturally very familiar with them.

After accepting the appointment from the big boss, he immediately compiled a list and convened an emergency meeting with the people on the list.

"Let me tell you all, you'll be going on a long business trip with me these next couple of days. It might be a bit tough, but you know me. If you do a good job, I'll help you apply to Mr. Huang for a reward."

This wasn't the first time they had worked under Mai Guangde's command. Everyone trusted Mai Guangde completely, and no one said a word of objection. They all agreed to go on the business trip with Mai Guangde. In their eyes, this was just a normal audit and inspection trip.

For reasons of confidentiality, Mai Guangde did not tell these people the specific work arrangements for the time being, but told them to wait for notification and follow the instructions in the notification.

Two days later, Mai Guangde appeared at the office building of Guangda Real Estate's Southern Headquarters with only a secretary.

At this moment, Nan Hui had just received an appointment and dismissal notice email from the Shanghai headquarters, which clearly stated that Mai Guangde would serve as the vice president of Guangda Real Estate Group, second only to Nan Hui in rank, and would be in charge of the group's personnel and financial work.

The appointment and dismissal notice was sent to the email addresses of all real estate employees, so Liang Hongming saw it immediately. Of course, he couldn't sit still and went to Nan Hui's office right away.

"Hui! What's going on? Why was a vice president suddenly parachuted in? I've never heard you mention this to me!"

Nan Hui was also completely baffled. She had been kept in the dark about Liang Hongming's affairs, and because of Liang Hongming's age and position, she had deliberately concealed her relationship with him, believing no one knew. Therefore, she was also puzzled by this sudden personnel appointment. According to past practice, the boss would always inform her beforehand if he wanted to appoint someone, but this time the appointment was made directly without prior notice.

Hearing Liang Hongming address her that way in the office, Nan Hui's face turned cold: "I've told you many times, address me by my title in the office."

"Understood, President Nan!" Liang Hongming cursed the old woman in his heart, but his face showed a submissive expression.

"Liang Hongming, this is not something you should be asking, you know?" Nan Hui felt that Liang Hongming had overstepped his bounds by asking this question, so she naturally wouldn't give him a friendly look.

Nan Hui fell into a misconception. She felt that work was work and love was love, and that she could separate the two. So, ever since she and Liang Hongming established their relationship, she had always insisted on this. Subjectively speaking, she did not have any intention of betraying Huang Xiaochuan for the time being. However, she did not realize that her actions would cause her to completely lose Huang Xiaochuan's trust in her, because some things could not be hidden even if she wanted to.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Nothing else, go and do your job." Nan Hui dismissed Liang Hongming, then called out to the door, "Come in!"

The secretary pushed open the door and came in: "President Nan, Vice President Mai has arrived and wants to see you."

Nan Hui was startled. So fast? She had just received the email, and the person had already arrived. That was incredibly fast!

Liang Hongming was also taken aback when he heard this; he hadn't expected that the newly appointed vice president would already be there.

Nan Hui saw Liang Hongming stop again, and said with displeasure, "Director Liang!" (Chapter 853: I'll temporarily manage the updates! Read now!)

Liang Hongming quickly left the office. Outside, he saw a middle-aged man, who he guessed was the new vice president. However, he didn't greet him, and the two passed each other.

After Liang Hongming left, Nan Hui said to her secretary, "Quickly, please invite Vice President Mai in!"

The two met shortly afterward.

The two knew each other very well. Mai Guangde knew Nan Hui's past perfectly well; he had personally escorted her to Shenzhen back then.

Nan Hui was also fully aware of Mai Guangde's background. She knew that the man standing behind him was that man, a man with extremely strong abilities and skills.

"Welcome, welcome!" Nan Hui warmly shook hands with Mai Guangde.

Mai Guangde responded just as warmly: "President Nan, long time no see! You look as radiant as ever. Please take good care of me in the future!"

"Mr. Mai, are you trying to embarrass me?" Nan Hui pretended to be unhappy.

"Hahaha!" Mai Guangde laughed.

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight to welcome you back," Nan Hui extended the invitation.

Mai Guangde waved his hand: "There's no rush for dinner. I have several appointment documents here signed by Mr. Huang, one of which concerns the appointment and removal of the chief financial officer. Take a look at it first."

"Why?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Nan Hui regretted asking them.

Mai Guangde looked at Nan Hui with a half-smile, shaking his head inwardly. This woman! She's hopeless. Isn't she just making it obvious that the big boss already knows about your relationship with the finance director?

At that moment, Liang Hongming, who had just returned to his office, also discovered that his office had been occupied, including by people from the real estate group's human resources department and security department.

"What are you doing in my office?" He was furious, glaring angrily at his secretary.

The visitor delivered a shocking message to him without any politeness: "Liang Hongming, right? You have been dismissed from your position as CFO of Guangda Real Estate Group. Please cooperate with our work."

Liang Hongming's face turned pale instantly: "Why should I listen to you? Who are you?"

"We are from the Shanghai headquarters. This is your dismissal notice. You are not allowed to take anything from this office except for some personal belongings." The visitor handed a document to Liang Hongming.

To everyone's surprise, Liang Hongming didn't even glance at the document before crumpling it up and throwing it into the wastebasket. This was a serious provocation, so there was no need to be polite to him.

Under the instructions of the visitors, the group's security department forcibly removed Liang Hongming from his original office. After being dragged out, Liang Hongming discovered that there were many more people in the finance department, who were taking over the workstations of the finance department employees one by one.

His heart sank.

Nan Hui continued to argue for Liang Hongming.

Why was Liang Hongming suddenly dismissed from his position as director?

Mai Guangde looked at Nan Hui and said, "President Nan, you'll find out soon enough. Mr. Huang asked me to tell you that you should go to Shanghai to rest for a while. I will temporarily take over the group's work. I'll treat you to dinner later as a farewell dinner."
